Empowering Anxious Teens: Caleb Cottle's Journey with Cascade Academy

The goal is let's rewire the brain, because if you practice- and that's why it fits so well with my rep- therapy background is because so much of it is experiential.
Ever wondered how to truly support a teenager struggling with anxiety? In this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast, Caleb Cottle takes center stage to share his experiences at Cascade Academy, a residential treatment center for adolescent girls battling anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Caleb dives into the nuts and bolts of exposure therapy and its role in helping these young women push their boundaries, grow stronger, and rediscover the joy in life.
He also tackles the tricky terrain of 'hovering' and 'bulldozing' parents, offering insights on how to encourage self-efficacy in kids while navigating parental involvement. Caleb’s candid discussion highlights the importance of rewiring the brain for long-term recovery and bridging cultural gaps to foster a supportive environment. For parents feeling overwhelmed by their child's mental health challenges, Caleb suggests seeking out resources like educational consultants and specialized treatment centers.
Tune in for an enlightening conversation that offers practical advice and hope for families navigating the stormy seas of adolescent anxiety.
